Market Update – January 2023
International buyers return – New homes developments launching – Increase in off-market sales, and more –
By Nick Staton – Owner Statons Estate Agents
Surprisingly and contrary to much of the media speculation, January has been busy across our office network for sales, new homes and lettings.
January can often be slow to get going, following the holidays, but as last month was unusually busy, this seems to have continued into the new year.
Local buyers and sellers are enjoying the relatively slower-paced property market, certainly compared to that of the last year or so. People are now able to look around before putting their property on the market and if they find something they like, have a little more time to market their own property.
We have also seen the mortgage market ease following the turmoil of last October and November. This has given people more confidence in considering a move, with more competitive mortgage products becoming available on a weekly basis. Which makes buyers less concerned about the cost of borrowing.
International Buyers Returning
I’m further encouraged to see the return of significant numbers of international buyers, we are seeing buyers from around the world registering their interest for property in all price ranges directly via our own website Statons.com.
In particular, there is increased interest from the North American market, this is primarily due to the strong US Dollar, making investing in the UK property market very attractive. We are also seeing demand strengthen from both the European and Asian markets.

Statons have some fabulous new home developments either currently available or that are about to be launched.
